The record
A trio date stripped to essentials, letting Stitt's dual command of alto and tenor stand fully exposed against Jimmy Jones's crisp comping and Charlie Persip's brisk timekeeping. Roost captures him mid-career, still measuring himself against Bird's shadow while sharpening a harder, more personal edge.
